I take notes with a camera. Besides my authentic photography (see https://take-note.com/about), I'm also interested in promoting the work of other "first-person" photographers and protecting all authentic photography (analog or digital) from generative AI.

Welcome to a refugee from Twitter, Cory Doctorow (bsky.app/profile/doct...). "I am on Bluesky, the service, but I am not a user of Bluesky, the company [he runs his own server]. That means that I'm able to interact with Bluesky users without clicking through Bluesky's abominable terms of service..."

Classic Messina. An embarrassment to any democrat.

Sounds like the subject of a Michael Moore flick.

I wrote to tcook@apple.com last Sunday: β€œYou chose to attend Trump’s event to celebrate Melania’s vanity after everyone knew that Trump’s goon squad murdered another American citizen whose last words were, β€œAre you OK?”

You should resign immediately. You are an embarrassment.

Your reporting from Minneapolis this week is your best content ever. Thanks for sharing the stories of the people on the ground protecting their neighbors. This will help spread that protection to many other communities, a prerequisite for defeating fascism. With you help, We the People will win.

Good list. Add a lucky #7: spread the montanaplan.org to as many states as possible.

Thanks, but life is better without Facebook.

Transparent Election Initiative - Our Fight Against Corporate Money in Politics Join our fight for transparent elections. The Montana Plan uses state constitutional authority to keep corporate money out of politics and restore democracy to the people.

@rbreich.bsky.social yes, we must overturn Citizens United. But in the meantime there is a strategy to obviate Citizens United. It’s called The Montana Plan, themontanaplan.org.

Occurs to me that Trump's entire regime consolidation strategy is to persuade everyone through displays of force that the regime is already consolidated and there's no point in resisting. Which I don't think will work, but also shows how important public acts of noncompliance are.

This.

These displays are necessary because they’re actually weak.

Until this platform is liberated (it has an escape hatch), I post only at Mastodon (mastodon.social/@AuthenticPhoto).
